Times like this I am sad I am in California where these chumps don’t show their faces very often. My fellow statesmen are renowned for their political shithousing and they deserve to have their voices heard!
He actually visited Greenland. I just saw it in the news. He just avoided the capital and only visited an army base.

Space force base. And not “an” but “the”.
Fucking chicken, his staff apparently were too afraid that locals would have pelted him with eggs.
He’d face the same treatment in most American cities, better get used to it.
Keep it up, Greenlanders. Fuck these pricks!
I’m willing to bet they don’t understand why because the know “Everybody adores us”
It’s nice to see some good news from time to time in these troubling times.
bummer. i was kinda hoping to see them actually denied entry.
I was hoping for a coked up polar bear encounter.
“oh no, who put that coked up polar bear there?”
This would have been the real power play. Greenland says they will roll out the red carpet and welcoming party of locals. On arrival, the locals are bears and the carpet isn’t red. Yet.
IMO this is way better. Being denied would have given them a great opportunity to complain about “the Danish government suppressing the will of the Greenlandic people to join the US”. The fact that they can come but noone there likes them is so much more devastating for their narrative.
Are they getting DOGE to look into whether the tickets were non-refundable?
Imagine an ice center in Greenland detaining the vp and his wife citing a decades old law. 👁️👄👁️
“I want your land. Now welcome me like a hero”
nobody want to welcome you
Who would’ve have thought.
Who would’ve have thought.
me. I would’ve have thought. I totally would’ve have.
The Second Lady had planned to visit the Danish territory this week alongside other senior US government figures in a visit that had been described as a “provocation” by Greenland’s acting head of government Mute Egede.
It was later announced that JD Vance would be joining his wife on the visit, which was set to come after months of the Trump administration voicing their desire to take over the territory.
Usha Vance had been set to spend several days in Greenland on a “cultural visit.”
However, changes were subsequently made to the trip, which the White House confirmed on Tuesday would only involve the Vances visiting the US Pituffik Space Base, on the north-western coast.
Now, Danish broadcaster TV2 has reported that part of Mrs Vance’s visit to the capital of Nuuk was cancelled after US representatives failed to find any locals who wanted to greet the Second Lady.
Seriously though, why would anyone think this was a good idea in the first place? First off, I didn’t even know the “Second Lady” really did anything like this kind of stuff at all, and secondly, why would locals care about someone who is essential a random foreigner coming to pave the way for chaos?
She’s not Princess Diana. Five years ago, her husband was a certified nobody and now they want to drum up flowers and cheers from locals in another country for the wife of someone who is a half-step from being just some random NPC?
They’re not getting the first lady to actually do anything.
Elon’s doing plenty.
Melonia
I think it’s Mercedes, isn’t it? Oof. Du’oh. I see what you did there!
In fairness, the Second Lady has traditionally taken on various projects, although usually of a kids/education/health/humanitarian angle. Nancy Reagan was particularly well known for her various causes. Michelle Obama was advocating child literacy and healthy lifestyle I believe.
Not defending her at all, but I think it’s important to keep our facts and histories straight.
Edit: I dunno what I was thinking. Those are all First Ladies. You’re right, I can’t think of shit a single second lady has done, or even who any of them are. I retract my point.
Last one wasn’t even a lady - I don’t remember Doug being in the news until the 2024 campaign, although Wikipedia lists plenty of things he did in the role.
Nancy and Michelle were first ladies. Second ladies are the wives of VPs. And I’ll be honest, I couldn’t tell the names of any second ladies through my life, mostly because they usually don’t make the news.
Tipper Gore did some pretty stupid stuff… Thanks for the Parental Advisory labels on all those albums, Heckuva Job Tipper.
Guaranteed to make every album cover go harder AND signal to every kid which albums to look into.
So that’s where those came from. Though to be fair, she and the PMRC did that before Gore’s first term.
Yeah, I goofed. You’re right.

All good. I’m sure they do something in even a semiofficial capacity, but yeah I couldn’t tell ya.
Those were first ladies…
Well fuck me you’re right. Ok fair enough
I will repeat it: Greenlanders are very based.
If you are ever in Denmark, spend an hour to visit the Greenland museum, a huge raised middle finger of an exposition reminding everyone of Danish colonialism, placed right in the middle of Copenhagen.
They are not well treated by the Danes either, who only recently recognized them the right for translators in the Danish parliament.
what the fuck did they expect? a welcoming party to rival none other? With drumpf constantly going on about how he’s gonna take greenland? JFC. Fucking morons.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they did think that. They’re still stuck on American Exceptionalism and little self awareness. They pretend trump is JFK and we’re back in the Camelot era. Let that sink in.
Nothing exceptional about us anymore…if there ever was
Putin’s men thought Ukrainians would welcome them with open arms too…
Putin also thought he could steamroll over Ukraine. 3 years and nearly a million russian troops later, Ukraine is still holding their own.
Obviously. I was just drawing a parallel between Putin’s and Trump’s propaganda.
I know. I was agreeing with you.
I like to think they didn’t want to meet the Vances because they were afraid for the safety of their couches.
I hope it really is cancelled
Excellent, Now do every state in the US.
